Ocean E-Field Measurements Using Gliders

Abstract

Our long-term technical goal is to determine the limits of applicability of ocean electric field for vessel detection, classification and location on mobile and stationary platforms. Our primary objectives are to improve the sensitivity, size, power and usefulness of ocean electric field sensor systems on ocean-going, autonomous, mobile platforms. Our approach is to design, install and operate E-field sensor components on the UW Seaglider.
